Pax Romana (2 minutes) Angel: Hey, Christian, do you know what the Pax Romana was?
You betcha;the Pax Romano means Roman Peace.This was a 200 year period of peace that followed the battle of Actium lead by the fearless leader Augustus Ceasar.
I.Recently after Julius Caesers death, The battle of Actium between Mark Antony, Julius' best general, and Octavian, Julius' nephew, is about to take place.Before the battle, they agreed to share the throne but both wanted to rule by themselves. II.Before the battle , Mark Antony went to Egypt and married Cleopatra. III.The Romans thought he was betraying them, and that gave Octavian a chance to turn Rome against Mark Antony IV.He turned Romans Against Mark Antony and told Rome that Antony was going to give all of the power to Cleopatra VI.His Ships were too large, so his men grew tired before the battle began. Octavion won because antonys Men were too weary to battle.
Octaivian ended up winning, and changed his name to Agustus. Agustus means The "Honored One".
During the Pax Romana, the Romans didn’t have to worry about getting attacked, so they were able to accomplish some amazing architectural feats. Let’s start with my favorite, the Roman Baths! The Roman Baths were the place to be in Rome. That was were everyone hung out to get clean, catch up on gossip, and relax. It wasn’t cheap, though! Only those who could afford it could hang out at the baths. Unlike the baths, the Colosseum was for everyone. From the senate to the plebians, in the Colosseum everyone was allowed to watch the Gladiators fight. They fought animals of all kinds, and sometimes people. Sometimes they would flood the Colosseum, and reenact famous battles. In order to do that though, they had to have fresh water. That was what the Aqueducts were for. They brought water into Rome. You know what, Rome built some amazing structures, and I would love to tell you about all of them, but I’m running out of time, so if you have chance, check out the Pantheon, their paved roads, and how they use travel and trade. That’s all for the Pax Romana, here’s the Fall of Rome!
